What are some of your earliest creative memories and what lead you into design?

Studying Visual Communication in high school – I always looked forward to new briefs, I loved being challenged as well as expressing ideas in a visual and creative way. After discovering AgIdeas back in 2010 It was a very surreal and powerful experience, I left knowing what I wanted the spend the rest of my life doing.

Where do you think design is heading in the next five years and how will you adapt?

Advances in technology are becoming so accessible and I think digital design is going to be the way of the future – Interactive design in particular. Also the fact that even today people are doing what we can do for less money with the help of Adobe programs and inspiration sites, it’s a very fragile topic. I think the role of the computer has decreased creative and artistic abilities. I love this quote from Paul Rand: "It is important to use your hands. This is what distinguishes you from a cow or a computer operator." The use of hands gives work a raw and personal finish which I really admire. To me digital design will never give the same satisfaction as the tactility and the experience of books, catalogues, invitations and all things print. I will adapt through keeping up with new technologies and programs but also respecting and exercising traditional methods and techniques.

What has been some of the biggest lessons you’ve learnt along the way?

To keep away from the internet for inspiration and to find it within our daily lives. Failure is a good thing. Keeping a balanced lifestyle between work and play. Make what you love and not what you think other people will love. To think without pressure.

Whats the big goal in the next five years?

Interning in Europe and later on, (being bold) opening my own studio.

What was your plan for graduating and what actually happened?

I just recently graduated (2015) my plan is to freelance, work on side projects (book about serial killers) and intern – Berlin or London are the dream. Let’s hope it all goes to plan....

results for you from our audience. Sit back and relax, we’ve got this!

Internships are cheap to post, but please be respectful! This is is not a free design service. Our student
and graduate following is of the highest quality and we want to honour their talent. Please respect the
students and other commitments they might have time/money wise when submitting your ad. Thanks!

We love jobs! And so does our audience. Because our following is mostly students and graduates, the best
jobs to advertise are for junior and mid weight roles. Specially graphic design, digital design, typography
and illustration. Please note these are paid full time or part time roles, so if you have a one off project
to advertise, put it under our Freelance jobs dropdown instead. Thanks!

but will be loosely linked to your ad, it will be the highest of standards and one which you will get the
best results from our audiences with. Trust us, we’ve got this!)

Welcome to our new section for freelance one-off jobs! To keep things simple, we want to connect you with
the talent by advertising what you need, and encouraging people to email you directly with an example of
their work. You can choose who to work with from all the submissions you receive. Everything is done online,
and you can expect a designer to be dealing with you remotely. The good news is you won’t be limited to
talent locally - this is advertised in each of our cities, meaning you will get a much higher standard of
work to choose from. Picking a budget is very hard - we do not encourage work for a fiver like some
websites, because you will end up with something worth a fiver!
